I can now say I've heard it all. I work in the motel business and occasionally I upgrade people to better rooms as needed. It is really busy tonight and I checked in this guest to a standard room with 2 beds. He calls down and says "Do you have any singles?" I said no. "I would really like something else" says he. The lobby is now starting to get fill up with people wanting to check in. I said "Sir, please wait until this rush is over and I will get back to you" "OK" he replies. 5 Minutes later he comes down and asks "Well?" I gave up and gave him the Biggest and Best room we had just to shut him up: a suite with a King Bed, ,Jacuzzi Tub. Large Screen TV, and a Large sitting area." 1 Minute Later He calls down and says "THIS ROOM IS TOO BIG! I'll take the first room I had. There is now a dent in the counter from my forehead.

LOL, Phrebert! That's too funny. For the first time in my life, I asked to have my room changed when we were on vacation in December. They gave me the corner room as you approach the elevator. No!!!! Too much traffic there! They then moved me further down the hall near the laundry room. Convenient when I did my laundry! I couldn't see spending $1 for a tiny box of laundry soap from that machine. So I went to Kmart nearby and got a big bottle of detergent for $2.99. Smelled good!!! And when I left I put it on the counter in the laundry room with a note for others to use.

That sounds weird, but he might have agoraphobia or something. Big spaces can be scarrrrrrrry.


That McD's story is giving me flashbacks. I feel for you. I recall this one man YELLING at my friend that he wanted onions on his burger (this was at WDW; we didn't have them). He's like, "WELL YOU HAVE ONION RINGS? HOW STUPID ARE YOU? YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE ONIONS!" My friend later told me she wanted to say, "EVER HEAR OF PRE-PACKAGED, PRE-BREADED, FROZEN ONION RINGS? HOW STUPID ARE YOU?"

LOL, Jen! That was my thought.

And I thought my customer who once told me our sugar wasn't sweet enough was bad....

I cannot phathom why people would complain about an upgrade. When DH and I went to San Antonio last year and stayed at the Riverwalk Marriot, we were given a free upgrade to which we said " !!!!". The suite we were upgraded to was bigger than our first apartment!

Sorry you had such a kraptastic customer tonight.

We have a friend who owns a pizza shop. He once had a customer complain the food was too hot. He said he took the plate and left it on the counter to cool off and then brought it back to her.

Bonk, Bonk, Bonk (my head hiting the desk again). Mr. Upgrade checked out today and paid his bill in Cash. IN $2 BILLS!. $240 worth of 2 bills. The drop envelope was too thick to put in the drop safe so I was called in to open the safe.
